I know I say that a lot of movies are my favorite movies of all time, but seriously this time: The Little Mermaid is my absolute, number one, favorite movie of all time. I don’t care that I’m not a kid anymore and I’m not supposed to watch cartoons. Literally no movie will ever replace my love for this movie.

Obviously all of these viewings instilled some pretty serious life lessons in me. I mean, you can’t watch a movie every day for years and not learn things, you know?
